A 34-year-old man is receiving treatment at Katima Mulilo State Hospital after surviving a lion attack in the Kasika area, Kabbe South constituency, on Thursday. 

Rainstorms caused extensive damage to houses in Kabbe South and North, as well as some parts of Katima Rural constituencies in the Zambezi Region, on Sunday.

The storm destroyed houses, uprooting trees and dropping water tanks from their mountings.

Newly elected Councillor for Kabbe South Constituency, Raymond Sezuni of the Swapo Party, was sworn into office today.

The swearing-in ceremony took place at the Zambezi Regional Council.

The police in the Zambezi Region are searching for three escapees after five trial-awaiting inmates escaped from the Ngoma police station holding cells on Saturday.
